Kindred Spirits (2016) s02e09 Episode Script

Shadow of a Doubt

TAMMY: When we moved in here,
his behavior changed.
This big, tall,
black mass just showed up.
We just want to know
who you are.
[ DEVICE BEEPS ]
That definitely
got touched.
Something touched those.
Right.
BRUNI: Would you sleep
in your room again, ever?
Never.
Why are you here?
[STATIC]
Did it just say "dead"?
That's just the start.
That's just the start.
[ DOOR CREAKS ]
BRUNI: I'm Amy Bruni.
I was only 8
when a paranormal incident
changed my life forever.
[GIRL LAUGHS]
Since then,
I've dedicated my time
to solving the most terrifying
hauntings imaginable.
BERRY: I'm Adam Berry.
More than a decade ago,
an encounter at gettysburg
rocked my beliefs
about the supernatural.
BRUNI: Together,
we uncover the truth
behind
the unexplainable.
Oh.
Oh, my god.
Now we are on
our most important mission yet.
Helping families
overcome their fear,
take back their homes,
and reclaim their lives.

[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
- Hey.
- Hey.
I just wanted to tell you
about a case
that I just got in the e-mail.
Do you have a minute?
- Yeah, totally.
- Okay.
So, a woman named Tammy
who lives in a house
with her daughter,
Michelle,
and Michelle's son, Tyler,
who's 6 years old.
All of them have seen what
appeared to be a shadow man.
There's been growling in the house.
There's have been footsteps.
I mean, it's coming to the point
where Tyler, the 6-year-old,
doesn't even sleep
in his room at all.
Really, at this point,
I'm terrified for the kid,
in all honesty,
'cause they are
experiencing something
they can not explain.
BRUNI:
Let's take care of this.
I hate to hear about
a 6-year-old having issues.
Just shoot me the address,
and I will meet you there.
All right. Thanks.
BERRY: The biggest concern with
this family has to be Tyler.
Tyler is a 6-year-old boy,
and the fact that he's not
sleeping is actually unsettling,
so whatever's happening
in this house
needs to be figured out
very, very quickly.
BRUNI: Tammy, thank you
for inviting us into your home.
- Thank you.
- So who all is here?
Your daughter
Yes, and -
- and her son.
- Yes.
Can you just kind of
give us an overview
of what's going on
in the house?
TAMMY:
I've been here two years.
All of a sudden, this big, tall,
black mass just showed up
- Okay.
- Yeah.
BRUNI: Okay.
started terrorizing
my grandson,
and he wouldn't sleep
in his room anymore.
He wouldn't sleep at all 'cause
this thing kept scaring him.
Like, a shadow man,
or, like,
an actual, like okay.
A black shadow, yeah.
I got this house for a steal
Really?
I mean, a steal,
and I'm wondering if that's why.
BRUNI:
When you see this shadow,
does it feel like
a familiar presence to you?
- No, not somebody I know
- Okay.
but you can tell
it's a man.
- Right.
- It's cold.
BERRY:
Cold, like distant?
- Yes. Yeah.
- Okay.
So Tyler and you see it.
Does anybody else see it?
My daughter, Michelle.
I've seen it
in my room upstairs,
and it's just, like,
an outline.
It's not like I can't see
anything, like, definite of him,
and it's just kind
of pretty creepy.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
So when you see it upstairs,
is Tyler in his room?
Not usually.
He sleeps with my mother.
Why doesn't he come to you?
'Cause I'm upstairs.
- Oh, and that's where
- Yeah.
That's where he hears things
and has seen the shadow.
Do you think Tyler
is seriously affected
by the activity
that's happening?
Sometimes I wonder.
I recently had him
into the doctors,
and we're only on our
like fourth or fifth visit,
so we're in the midst
of all that right now.
- Okay.
- So that's where it all started.
- Mm-hmm.
- That's just the start.
That's just the start.
Okay.
Once, the mass was just
outside my bedroom door.
BERRY: So show us
where the shadow was.
I have nightlight
if you'll notice.
All of a sudden, the nightlight
just blacked out,
and then it blinked
back on again.
I could see it from my bed.
It was standing, watching me.
Mm. That's terrifying.
Yeah, and then
it was just gone.
BRUNI: All right.
Now, is there anything upstairs?
Yes.
My daughter
Michelle's room,
Michelle had it
knocking on the window.
- Huh.
- Michelle has been growled at.
BERRY:
Did it sound muffled or
Don't know. Ask her.
Literally, all I did
was open my closet door,
and yet I heard
the [IMITATES GROWLING]
Like, and I had never ran
and screamed so fast.
It was more like
a breath, like
Yeah, like [IMITATES GROWLING]
like, ugh, ugh.
The tapping,
the knocking that you hear,
is it tapping, like, ta-ta-ta
on the window?
- No, it's a full-on knock.
- It is a full, like, somebody
It's knock, knock,
knock, knock.
TAMMY: Tyler's room
He claimed that somebody
was knocking on the window.
So they both had knocking
on these windows.
And these are on the second
floor, obviously, so
Yes, the second floor.
Nobody should be
knocking on windows.
The one thing with Tyler is,
when we moved in here,
his behavior changed
also.
How so?
What kind of kid is he?
He was the sweetest little boy,
and then boom,
he changed an awful lot.
With not sleeping,
of course,
that's going to
affect his emotions.
I mean, a little kid
can't stay up for three days,
and I'm telling you,
it was so bad for him.
Who do you think
it might be?
- I'm really not sure.
- Mm-hmm.
I mean, the only one,
really, that's passed
that is close to me
is my father. So..
Okay, okay.
And when did he pass away?
Four years ago.
What was that
relationship like?
I loved him.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. [ CHUCKLES ]
He was a typical Harley guy
to the day he died, really.
And obviously, if it's
somebody you don't know
- Bye.
- you want it to go.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Okay.
I'd much rather have him cross
over than stick around with me.
We know that people say that
they can cross stuff over.
However, we're sort of,
of the theory
that once
the answers are given,
sometimes they just
kind of go on their own,
and usually, there's a reason
why someone is around.
Yeah.
BRUNI: So when you're telling us
this stuff, you know,
you say it very
conversationally,
but when it's happening,
how do you feel?
I don't like that
it bothers Tyler.
- Right.
- I have to say,
this is the whole reason
why I started looking for help.
So really,
we're here for Tyler.
- Yes, you are.
- Mm-hmm. Okay.
Are you scared
for Tyler?
- Yes.
- Yes.
BRUNI: I'm going to
sit down with Tyler
to find out why
he is so scared of his room.
While I talk to him, I will be
able to observe his behavior.
As a mom, I know
how important it is
not to escalate
his fear level.
Hi. Is this your room?
Yep.
Do you sleep up here?
- I used to.
- Yeah?
And now I sleep
with my Nana.
How come you sleep
with your Nana?
Because I'm scared
because I see Freddy and
Because you see Freddy?
And so but is that
who you see,
or do you see a man
that you call Freddy?
Yeah.
Are you okay?
BRUNI: Obviously,
Tyler is terrified.
I can see that at play
when I interact with him.
He can't even sit
still in this room
because he's just
so nervous and scared.
- And
- Yeah?
this is really creepy.
It
It knocks on your window?
Yeah, all the time
when I'm in here.
All the time?
When it's night.
And then what happened?
It just went away.
It just went away?
And so is that why you sleep
with your Nana now?
Yeah.
So would you sleep
in your room again, ever?
- Never.
- You'll never sleep in here?
No.
You want us to fix it?
Yeah, and then I can
sometimes sleep in my room.
We'll try.
All right,
you go ahead and hide in there.
Oh, oh, I don't know
where Tyler went.
I'm going to get to work.
BRUNI: There's this little 6-year-old
boy who's crying and shaking.
He's that scared to be
in his room.
I mean, if I was in that
situation with my own child,
I'd do everything I could
to try to get it fixed.
So how did it go
with Tyler?
He clearly describes
a shadow.
He describes the knocking.
I can't imagine a child that age
seeing stuff like that.
So every single person here
has been affected
by paranormal activity,
and it's consistent
with this shadow figure.
So I guess it's our turn.
Yeah.
We need to see if we can
kind of flush it out.
BRUNI: Tyler's our priority here
just because he's terrified.
You know, he won't
even play upstairs
during the day by himself,
so we're definitely going to
spend some time in Tyler's room.
Okay.
Let's see if anyone is here.
My name is Adam,
and this is Amy.
Hi.
We're looking for someone
that they've seen in this house.
They see you as a shadow.
We want to talk to you.
That's why we have
this little device here.
It records your voice,
even if we can't hear you.
Can you just say your name
as loudly as you can?
Why are you here?
Did you mean
to scare Tyler?
Are you related to the family
that's here now?
All right, let's see
if there's anything here.
[STATIC]
[ THUD ]
Did you just hear that?
The thump.
- Yep.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, like,
doom, doom.
Doom, doom.
Out there.
I want to check
her closet here.
Nothing.
Maybe we should try
the spirit box.
BERRY: Yeah.
A spirit box clicks through
the frequencies of a radio,
and we are listening for words
that come through the static.
So if there's someone
here with us,
you can use this
to talk to us.
[ SPIRIT BOX OSCILLATING ]
So if there's someone
here with us,
you can use this
to talk to us.
[ SPIRIT BOX OSCILLATING ]
Tell me that did not
just say, "I'm here."
It said "Here."
I mean, I've got it recorded.
[ OSCILLATING CONTINUES ]
Is there someone here?
What's your name?
Do you need something?
It went quiet.
I want to play that back.
Okay.
That is so loud.
Yeah. "I'm here."
Right off the gates.
Like, right out.
Yeah.
Weird. [ SIGHS ]
It talked to us through
the spirit box a little bit,
so it's almost like we're kind
of gaining its trust, still.
Yeah.
I'm anxious to find out.
Who is this guy?
What is this thing
that they're seeing?
I mean,
we are getting activity.
Just none of it
is specific.
We don't know
who it is.
We don't know why
they're talking to us.
We're going to have to use
different tactics
and see if we can connect
with whoever this is.
Let's think.
I want to catch the shadow.
I mean, leaving the DVR
up all night is key.
We have to.
I need to sit down
with Tammy
and just try to get
more information
about who else
this could be.
BRUNI: Yeah, it's important,
when we're doing these cases,
that we get some
one-on-one time with our clients
and just try to get more
information about people
near to them who passed away.
This is a time
where I can just, you know,
sit and chat with you
for a little bit,
just about everything,
you know,
because when we went and we did
the tour through the house,
that's when we focus
mostly on the activity
and what you guys
have seen and experienced.
But in order for us to talk
to whatever is here
and get it to respond to us,
the more information
we have, the better.
And so has there been
anything going on
beyond just
what we've been told?
I just have something to add
to this black mass.
All right.
And what happened with that?
The cat's sitting
on the stairs,
and just stared
up the stairs.
And then the black shadow
came halfway down the stairs,
went back up again.
Okay. All right.
That helps.
It's not often
we have a case
where the entity
is seen so many times.
It likes to be seen.
Yeah.
Sounds like it.
So just I wanted to kind of
go through your relatives
who passed away to try to get
some more information.
Michelle mentioned
her dad might be here.
What was your relationship
like?
After we weren't
married anymore?
Mm-hmm.
We got to be friends.
Okay.
- He was a biker.
- Okay.
Okay, and he ended up
getting sick.
Mm-hmm.
I was his medical proxy
and his power of attorney.
So I helped him along that way
until he passed away.
And then
what was he sick with?
- He had cancer.
- Okay.
All right.
And now what was his name again?
- Michael.
- Michael. Okay.
Is there anybody else you can
think of that passed away?
No.
Now, I did want to just
ask real quick.
Have you found anything
since you've moved here?
Yes.
They're in the garage.
What's in the garage?
- File cabinets.
- Really?
Oh, yes,
all kinds of stuff.
Did you know the people
who used to live here
or the names
of the former owner?
No, but this house
is very old.
It was built in 1946.
Okay.
And there has been a lot
of people in and out.
Are you familiar with
any stories around here?
Yes. I was told by a psychic
that there was something here.
Mm-hmm.
What did he tell you, exactly?
Without him even knowing
that there had been
a pool in the backyard,
he told me that somebody
had drowned in the pool.
Mm-hmm.
But it wasn't an accident.
BERRY:
So what was happening?
Tammy told me that
the former owner
left a bunch of stuff
out here.
I wanted to see if there was
anything left in these
that might clue us in
to who spent time here.
Oh.
[ DRAWER OPENS ]
Oh, magazines.
What's the name
on this one?
Leo,
someone who likes harleys.
You know who liked harleys?
Michelle's father,
yeah, he really
He had a Harley.
Yeah, and
Well, there's a name,
and that's what
I was hoping for.
Did Tammy know a Leo or any
of the former home owners?
Well, Tammy told me.
She said that she didn't know
any former owners.
Okay.
What else did you
learn from Tammy?
Well, my most
interesting takeaway
from talking to Tammy today
was that a psychic told her
someone drowned in the pool
that used to be
on this property.
I still need to do research,
though,
to see if anything
like that happened.
Yeah. I don't mind, like,
calling out EVP questions
about that scenario,
just to see if we get answers.
Right. Okay.
Well, I mean, that's cool.
Now we have
something to go on,
and we have a new
name from here
More information about
Tammy's family for tonight.
Which is great,
but before we start,
I have something
I need to show you.
BERRY: I watched the DVR
footage, and I want you to look
at something
really interesting.
Okay.
This is Tyler's room, right?
- Right.
- And this is Michelle's room.
Yeah. The cat has been sleeping
on this bed for, like,
the longest time.
Mmhmm.
Like, cleaning itself.
Okay?
Okay.
The cat's looking for herself,
not paying attention.
Watch right here.
See this weird thing?
Oh, yeah.
Oh!
And then the cat looks,
notices it, completely
stops
and then goes
as if it's being called.
That's weird.
He comes into this room
and then sits here
and just, like, stares
where that thing was
and then sits down
and just looks.
BERRY: I watched the DVR
footage, and I want you to look
at something
really interesting.
Okay.
This is Tyler's room, right?
- Right.
- And this is Michelle's room.
Yeah. The cat has been sleeping
on this bed for, like,
the longest time.
Mmhmm.
It just got down and it's
like, cleaning itself.
Okay?
Okay.
The cat's looking for herself,
not paying attention.
Watch right here.
See this weird thing?
Oh, yeah.
Oh!
And then the cat looks,
notices it, compeletely
stops
and then goes
as if it's being called.
That's weird.
He comes into this room
and then sits here
and just, like, stares
where that thing was
and then sits down
and just looks.
You can clearly see this
animal react to something.
It's almost like an extra
piece of equipment, really.
It's so bizarre.
BERRY: We always hear stories
about animals
reacting to paranormal events,
but we have never captured it
on camera
before when the animal
is completely alone.
Cats actually have
heightened senses
and can detect things
humans can't
because some scientists
believe they see in ultraviolet.
The fact that this cat responds
to something in Tyler's room
is hard to ignore,
especially when we have
correlating DVR evidence.
And so does this detect
motion at that time?
Yeah, it shows
movement in that room.
What's also weird is this cat
is moving around in this room,
and this camera is not
registering motion at all.
It's stealth, but it registers
this weird anomaly
like something was
moving in the room.
Yeah, but, I mean,
this is on camera.
Yeah.
This proves what they are
seeing the cat do.
Like, this is exactly
what they see the cat do.
Mm-hmm.
I don't think there's
any disputing
that there's something
going on here.
It's just
a matter of what.
What's our game plan
for tonight like?
I know already we're going
to be focusing upstairs
just because we have a very
faint anomaly in Tyler's room.
Right.
BERRY:
We're going to split up.
Amy will try to talk to Michael
and Leo in Tyler's room
while I use the thermal
camera in Michelle's room.
It uses heat signatures
to identify
both supernatural
and natural anomalies.
BRUNI: Are you related to anyone
in this house?
Is your name Michael?
Did you know
someone named Leo?
Did you drown?
It's very quiet, Adam.
It's not working.
BERRY: Hmm, okay.
I didn't get any weird, like,
heat signatures around you.
- What are you doing?
- I was just taking
I was looking for
all the pictures of
Her father on a Harley.
BRUNI: Right.
So what do you think about,
you know,
we know that Michelle's dad
liked motorcycles,
and whoever this Leo is
must have liked them, too,
judging by all the magazines
in the garage.
We get some of that
Harley-Davidson memorabilia,
and we use the proximity sensor
and attach it to it,
and see
if we get a response.
Let's do it.
Let me go outside and get
that Harley-Davidson things.
BRUNI: We choose trigger objects
that have some sort
of personal meaning
to spirits,
so we are going to use
the Harley-Davidson magazines
that we found in the garage
to see if we can get
some kind of response.
Turn this on.
We would like to address
someone named Michael or Leo.
We ask that you please join us
here in the living room,
so that we can talk to you.
We brought some
Harley-Davidson catalogs.
We thought maybe
you'd want to look at them.
Do you want to reach out
and touch those?
If you do, this will
beep like this
[ BEEPS ]
and that'll let us know that
you were interested in them.
Michael or Leo,
are you here?
If you're not Michael,
are you someone who knew him?
Whoever you are,
do you like motorcycles?
[ BEEPING ]
That definitely got touched.
Something touched those.
BRUNI:
If you're not Michael,
are you someone who knew him?
Whoever you are,
do you like motorcycles?
[ BEEPING ]
That definitely got touched.
Something touched those.
Right.
Who is that person?
I don't know.
I mean, I know
I mean, we haven't verified
or if it was Michael.
Right?
Right.
But whoever is here
likes motorcycles.
It is a reaction
to something.
Yeah.
I mean, it got touched.
- Right.
- Something touched those.
At this point, it could be
Michael or Leo or anyone.
It means we have
to start researching
and figure out
who else this could be.
I know.
Let's keep figuring it out.
BRUNI: I don't doubt that
this activity is associated
with the same person,
but who is that person?
And so we'll definitely
be focusing on that
as we research.
Adam, I think
I have something.
I really think
Like, something
No, I think
I have something.
- Anything on pool drownings?
- No.
Well, I found records
of drownings,
but nothing
on this property.
But in 2013,
a man
was on his motorcycle.
A woman in a minivan
didn't see him,
took him out, and he died.
His name was Steven.
He was 43,
and that
I mean, and here's the thing.
This is literally
just right there.
It's behind the house
where the accident happened.
Okay. Okay.
43, drove his Harley-David
motorcycle into a van
- Mm-hmm.
- it's a Harley.
I mean, he may have known
Michelle's father
because it's, like
- Right.
- You know, but, like
Or the
The former owners.
Yeah.
I mean, harleys are really big
in New Hampshire, for sure.
They have pictures
of harleys in here.
They have a Harley manual
in the garage.
- Yeah.
- I wonder if he just feels home.
He lived on this street,
so he literally lived
right up the street
from here.
- Okay.
- What if he's just lost?
What if he can't find
his way home,
and he just wandered
in here?
- Which we've seen before.
- Yeah, we have.
Many people think that ghosts
are tied to one place.
I don't believe that's true
because I've just seen
too many cases
where someone ends up somewhere
that really had little
to do with their life.
So what we do is this.
We go upstairs and see if we get
a response and go from there.
Yeah. We just want to, like,
ask a few quick questions
and see if we get
anything at all.
Yeah.
This is not the first time
we've seen a spirit get lost
after a traumatic death,
but we still have two other
people we haven't ruled out yet,
and so we need to see
if we find
any other evidence
as we investigate.
What is your name?
Distinct.
BRUNI: Do you know someone
in this house?
Are you related to someone
in this house?
What road is this?
Did you have an accident?
I mean, well, he didn't
answer anything, really.
I wasn't hearing honestly,
I wasn't hearing anything
- Yeah. It's quiet.
- Like, not even, like
- Weird.
- Let's go downstairs.
Yeah.
So what do we want
to do down there?
I know that's where
Tammy said she saw
that shadow figure
down there.
Right.
BERRY: Tyler has been our biggest
concern during this case,
so we've been
focusing the majority
of our investigations
upstairs on Michael and Leo,
but we're not getting
anything.
We need to shift
the investigation downstairs.
BRUNI: So we're going to bring
the spirit box in there.
Right?
Mmhmm.
[ TAPPING ]
Any reason you
used the gopro?
Did you hear that?
It's knocking.
[ TAPPING ]
Yeah.
From Tammy's room.
[ TAPPING ]
So try to use this device,
if you can, to talk with us.
[ SPIRIT BOX STATIC ]
Are you related to the family
that's here now?
BRUNI: What's your name?
[ SPIRIT BOX STATIC
CONTINUES ]
Why are you here?
Dead.
Did it just say "dead"?
Accident.
BOTH: "Accident."
So try to use this device,
if you can, to talk with us.
[ SPIRIT BOX STATIC ]
Are you related to the family
that's here now?
BRUNI: What's your name?
[ SPIRIT BOX STATIC CONTINUES ]
Why are you here?
Dead.
Did it just say "dead"?
Accident.
BOTH: "Accident."
Dead? Accident?
That's so crazy.
I've never heard that.
Did you have an accident
on a motorcycle?
Steven, are you here?
Can you talk to us?
Okay.
Okay. Stop.
What is the situation?
I mean, I know
I mean, we haven't
verified anything.
I know that I'm more apt
to think Steven is here.
Maybe.
You know, I mean,
we have found this many times,
where
things just wander in
because, obviously,
the accident happened nearby.
I think if Steven is here,
I think his death
was very sudden,
and maybe he just wandered
away from the accident.
Yeah.
And maybe he doesn't quite
understand what's going on,
but I'm not ready to say
for sure that's who it is.
We're getting no answers
from Michael or Leo.
Yeah.
Maybe that's why we weren't
getting any responses upstairs.
We're not asking
the right questions.
- Let's keep figuring it out.
- Okay.
But it got quiet on the spirit
box, so let's do an EVP session.
Is there anybody here?
We found out that someone
had a motorcycle accident
near to here.
Do you know about that?
Was your house nearby?
- "I'm here."
- Mm-hmm.
- "I'm here."
- Mm-hmm.
- Again, "I'm here."
- Mm-hmm.
That's the second time
it's said that.
You can use this
to talk to us.
- I'm here.
- It said "here."
It said, "I'm here."
Twice it told us,
"I'm here."
Like, why is it?
Is that all it wants, is just
for us to know it's here?
I mean, "I'm here."
Okay.
You're here, but what?
But what else?
We need more.
Who are you?
Okay. Let's listen.
We just want to know,
like, who you are.
Did you have an accident
nearby?
Can you just say your name?
[ SIGHS ]
I'm, like, frustrated.
I am, too.
Wait.
Can you play that again?
Steven.
- Yeah.
- Steven.
That's [BLEEP] Steven.
BRUNI: Wait.
Can you play that again?
Steven.
- Yeah.
- Steven.
That's [BLEEP] Steven.
Steven. Okay. Okay.
We got something.
Steven. I mean,
that's a clear "Steven."
But I wish he would
tell us more.
There's a lot of question
unanswered.
We just need to
keep going.
Steven, we know
that you're here,
so would you maybe have
a conversation now
and figure out why
you're here
and see if, maybe,
we could help you?
Are you lost?
Is that why you're here?
Do you need something?
Do you feel like this
is your home now?
Okay. Let's listen.
He said "Yes," right?
Yes. Right?
Yeah. It says "Yes."
Do you feel like this
is your home now?
That's why he's here.
He's lost.
It was a really awful,
awful sad death.
We're going to have to be
so delicate
in how we explain this
to them,
so hopefully,
they'll be open to that.
Right.
Let's go find out.
This was a tough one.
It was very tough.
- This was very, very difficult.
- Really?
It kept us hanging
until the last second.
We, at this point,
know who is here.
Mm-hmm.
I think it's probably not what
you're going to have expected
at all, so
Really?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
We always say, "If you're
open to the idea of ghosts",
you have to be open
to the idea of psychics, too."
I mean, you can't just pick
and choose, you know.
- True.
- And so we did so much research
on the property itself.
No record, I mean,
there were drownings in there,
but none anywhere near here,
definitely not in a pool,
so just nothing
that he saw as far as,
you know, deaths in the house
matched up with any records
that we were able to find.
- Right.
- I mean, but we tried.
- Yeah.
- I mean, we did actually use it
in the investigation.
We did.
We would bring it up.
Some psychics are better
at, like, the personal stuff.
- Mm-hmm.
- And they know things about you
and not as good
at the ghost stuff.
True.
But we actually caught
some evidence,
and it's
really great evidence.
So I think
What should we play first?
Let me just pull up
this screen here.
So we used
this camera system
and put cameras
everywhere in your house,
so we can monitor
the activity,
and we really wanted
to catch this shadow guy.
- Sure.
- Like, we wanted to catch him.
And the first thing I noticed
is going to be in this screen.
See that movement
right there?
- Oh. Yes.
- See that weird, tiny movement?
I did. Yes.
If you see the cat, the cat
is licking itself, right,
not paying attention
to anything.
Mm-hmm.
You'll see this thing
start happening in Tyler's room.
The cat immediately stops.
- Oh.
- See what the cat does?
Yeah.
Immediately stops
doing what it's doing,
looks in the direction
of Tyler's room
and goes like it's being called
or, like, it sees something.
So something, you know,
was kind of maybe
walking around the house,
which is what you
guys experienced.
Mm-hmm. Yes. Yes.
It's also interesting
that the cat seems
totally unfazed
by this anomaly.
It's just hanging out,
so in our opinion,
it must be a pretty
harmless spirit
because animals have
a keen sense of danger.
But having the cat
actually react to it,
it's really interesting
to me.
Yes.
Well, you suppose that
was the shadow man?
And I mean, that could
be the form
that it takes on our camera.
You know?
It could be.
- So that's really cool.
- Yes. Yeah.
And so it verifies that
something is happening
in your house,
and it was walking around
in the middle of the night.
- Yeah.
- So we can put that away.
So Amy and I were doing
the spirit box.
Basically, it's a radio that
flips through the channels,
and so we're looking for
answers in the static of it.
Right? So it'll, like,
talk back to us,
and we turned it on
to see what we get.
[SPIRIT BOX STATIC]
BRUNI:
Why are you here?
- Dead.
- Yeah.
- Accident.
- Yeah.
Pretty clear
what it was saying.
Yeah,
"dead" and "accident."
So then we have the final
piece of evidence.
One more thing.
We think
it's saying "Steven."
- Yes. I did hear that.
- Mm-hmm.
Really quick, "Steven."
Yep.
Do you know a Steven?
I don't know a Steven.
What we discovered was that
right behind your house,
in 2013,
a man named Steven had
an awful motorcycle accident
and died right there.
We tried your family.
We tried former owners.
Mmhmm.
- We tried everything we could.
- Mm-hmm.
And the only time
we got responses
was when we started talking
directly to this Steven person,
and it's one of those things.
Could he be lost?
Maybe.
We did discover he lived
on this road,
and, you know, your house
is in-between his house
and the accident site.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
So we don't know if maybe
he just started
trying to get home somehow.
It just doesn't surprise us.
We see it all the time,
so
I mean, there's a lot
of similarities in-between.
I mean, like, he liked
Harley-Davidson.
The former owners
liked Harley-davidsons.
They had a bunch of
Harley-Davidson catalogs here.
Her dad
had a couple of harleys.
- Mm-hmm.
- You know.
There's just similarities,
you know?
It's, like, there's
Harley stuff upstairs.
Maybe he just kind of
was attracted
to that environment
and felt comfortable,
and he kind of parked it
for a minute, literally.
Yeah. Who knows? He could've
ridden with my ex-husband.
- Yeah.
- You never know.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
- That's true.
- That's true.
- We thought of that as well.
- Yeah.
With the situation
with Tyler,
I mean, that's really
what this all hinges on
because we don't
want him to be scared.
In the past, we've found that
once we figure out
why a spirit is here,
they tend to leave
on their own.
If you don't want him here,
or if you, you know,
want things to calm down,
it would be a matter of just
talking to him respectfully.
And ask him, you know, to please
stop if he's scaring you,
and just remind him
that he lives down the road,
and you can even tell him
how to get there,
and I don't think it would
be long before he moves on.
I mean, really,
an important thing is,
Tyler
isn't in any danger,
and Michelle is not
in any danger.
You're not no one
is in any danger, for sure.
- Thank you very much.
- Yeah.
I'm so happy you came.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
BRUNI: I'm really happy with
how things went here today.
You know, it was one
of those situations
where I wasn't entirely sure
how Tammy was going
to receive it.
It is never easy
telling a family
that there is a stranger
in their home.
Now that they know
who it is, you know,
this is the first step
for them
in getting the activity
here calmed down
and, just more than anything,
getting Tyler to a place where,
hopefully, he'll be sleeping
in his room soon.
